Abstract
⺠Allergen-specific immunotherapy is based on therapeutic vaccination with allergens. ⺠The genes encoding allergen molecules and their structures have been identified. ⺠Detailed knowledge of allergen structures and epitopes allows engineering new vaccines. ⺠These vaccines target different mechanisms of the allergic immune response. ⺠New allergy vaccines will increase safety, efficacy and convenience of immunotherapy and are currently tested in immunotherapy trials.
